Hi Philipp

We see them a lot lately. This are all forms which pass on some sort of
user content back to the alleged subscriber during the subscription
process.

So if you can pass a 'firstname' (or any other data) during
subscription, and the form which requests a confirmation for this
subscription includes that data like:
---
Hello 'firstname' thank you for subscribing, please confirm by clicking
the link below.
---

Now of course the attacker might enter the string

'buy cheap RX drugs: https://bit.bly/vl4gr4-4-ch34p'

as firstname and successfully spam this way.

As all kind of different form submission tools are abused, I fear there
is not much you can do except report to the webmaster of the affected
form and also report the email to your choice of DNS Blacklist or URI
blacklist to get either the sender IP or the confirmation URL
blacklisted.
